Vibrantly fragrant spice and cherry aromas leap from the glass and lead onto a refined, medium-bodied palate. Complex characters are beauti-fully balanced by a judicious use of high quality French oak that loans silky fine-grained tannins to the wine.

Tasting notes: Bright cherry red; reminiscent of spiced liqueur cherries, showing a distinct clove aroma to the bouquet; medium-bodied with plenty of red fruit supported by understated oak usage; the tannins are fine and quite silky, and compliment the fruit with style.

2010

Tasting notes: From a warm vintage the depth of fruit flavour is obvious. Beautiful perfumes on the nose with cloves and red berry characters. The finish is long and balanced with dusty tannins to round out the experience.

2011

Tasting notes: Deep crimson, purple; highly expressive and perfumed with dark cherry, plum, grilled cashew and violets on the bouquet; the palate is medium-bodied and focussed with fresh acidity and ample tannins sitting neatly with the fruit; there is a bitter amaro note on the finish adding complexity and length.

2013

Tasting notes: Still very youthful, the quality French oak riding high in the saddle. This is a wine of excellent quality, ticking every box. Its texture and balance are admirable, the varietal character likewise.

2014

Tasting notes: Hand Picked- Matured for 18 months in French oak (50%new). Brilliant crimson-purple; a very complex wine on the bouquet and medium to full-bodied palate alike; the new oak certainly plays role, but it's the spice black fruit and fine tannins that build the perfect platform for a wine with a very long future.
